Karin Dyrstad
About
I combine insights from the political behaviour and peace and conflict traditions to study individuals in conflict-affected societies and fragile states in order to improve the scholarly understanding of individual level causes and consequences of political violence and support for different peacebuilding strategies, and to help design better policies.
